The silent crescent hung on the pitch-black night as its dim, cool light, enveloped the vast landmass.
In the pitch-black forest, the weak bonfires danced gracefully, carrying threads of warm light into the silent and dark night.
Next to the bonfire, a young man was leaning against a tree trunk and subconsciously igniting the fire with a fire stick in his hand.
Including today, it had been five days since Xiao Yan left Wu Tan City. Much of the early freshness has faded during his lonely journey. A vague feeling of longing began to slowly rise to the young man's heart.
After randomly placing another piece of firewood into the fire, causing it to once again burn brightly, Xiao Yan placed his chin on his palm and lazily said, "Teacher, "Teacher, where exactly are we going?"
"The Magic Beast Mountain Range," An old voice said from within the ring on his finger.
"I think we can also enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range from near Wu Tan City. Why should we travel so far? "
"We are on the eastern side of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. By passing through here, we can reach the Tagger Desert. That is the ultimate goal of training. " Said Yao Lao
"Going directly through the Magical Beast Mountain Range?" The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth opened as he laughed out loud: "My current strength will only allow me to deal with some younger Magical Beasts. At most, I could only wander around the edges. Isn't it impossible to break through the mountains? "
"Only by being in such a dangerous place could one's talent really explode." Yao Lao said nonchalantly, "I plan to help you advance to a Dou Shi within the Magic Beast Mountain Range."
"Uh ... Then I should remain in the Magical Beast Mountain Range during my training period?" Hearing the proclamation, Xiao Yan's face immediately turned bitter.
"I think it'll take a year. For the rest of the year and a half, you should go and train in the Tagger Desert. "
Tagger Desert? Xiao Yan shook his head as he muttered to himself. Forgetit. After all, he had Yao Lao by his side to protect him. His teacher wouldn't really let him be eaten by Magical Beasts right?
Rubbing his palm onto his chin, Xiao Yan licked his lips and asked with a smile, "Teacher ...what about the Di Tier Dou Technique?"
"Basic little bastard. Don't you feel annoyed to talk about it a few times every day? "
Listening to Xiao Yan repeating the same question, Yao Lao felt something between a smile and tears. He helplessly shook his head and became silent. Finally, he said: "After going to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I will teach you the Dou Di Level Technique. Too many eyes outside. If someone accidentally saw it, there might be a problem.
Hearing that will be delayed a few more days. Xiao Yan sadly nodded his head.
"Look at your kindness to be disrespectful. Don't you understand the meaning of ‘Bite more than you can chew’? ‘Vacum’ Handles and ‘Your Hand’ Palms have indeed been trained until they reach perfection but ‘Your Octan’ Blast barely scratches the surface. " Looking at the desperate Xiao Yan, Yao Lao couldn't help but reprimand him.
"Just scratch the surface? How did that happen? Last time against Jia Lie Ao, I used ‘Octane Blast’ and broke his arm. " Hearing Yao Lao's reprimand, Xiao Yan muttered with dissatisfaction.
"Ha ha, right. You may have broken his arm, but didn't your leg become completely numb in the process? If not for you making Jia Lie Ao off guard, at most your fight would have ended in a draw. "
Yao Lao said with a laugh, "The attack strength of ‘Octane Blast’ is enough to compare to the Di Low Dou Technique. If trained properly, it is not difficult for your actual fighting strength to surpass someone stronger than you by two to three stars. But in your hands, it almost caused a situation where both sides were injured even if your opponent was the same star as you. "
Xiao Yan became mute. He tightly clenched his brows and became deep in thought. In his mind, he suddenly recalled the introduction of ‘Octane Blast’ from the moment Yao Lao transferred Dou Techniqueto to him.
"Octane Blast: A High Xuan Level Dou Technique is a melee combat Technique that focuses on attacks in large numbers. When overpowered, his explosion consisted of eight pulses that merged together with an attack power equivalent to a Di Low Dou Technique!
"Eight different strengths must be progressively accumulated during training. How much power do you really have? Ha ha's. It seems like other than the force on the surface, there is not the slightest hidden force, right? " Yao Lao said blankly, "If you can secretly add a hidden power above the surface force, then, you will be able to catch Jia Lie Ao surprisingly in your fight with him back then and will not have a difficult moment. "
How do you train hidden strength? His face gradually became impressive as Xiao Yan finally realized this crucial problem he had ignored.
"When you used ‘Octane Blast’ in the past, you fiercely attacked in one go, without the slightest technique. I've never discussed this before for two reasons. One of them is that your strength is still too weak. Another reason is that you never found this. "
Xiao Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. He had never really considered the matter of hidden strength. This is because only with surface strength, ‘Octane Blast’ has a very strong explosive force which greatly satisfies it.
Beside the bonfire, the young man slowly closed his eyes and the surroundings once again became silent. There was only the soft cracking sound of the firewood and the sound of insects buzzing softly.
After the silence continued for a long time, Xiao Yan, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened it. He frowned slightly at the thought of the exchange he had made with Yao Lao in his heart.
After a long moment of silence, Xiao Yan slowly relaxed his brows. He slightly nodded and tightened his fists, where a pale yellow Dou Qi gathered. Silence a moment later, his fist smashed into the trunk of a large tree as he cried softly.
"Octane Explosion!"
"Bang!"
There was a thud. At the place where his fist smashed into, a small hole was made along with several lines of cracks spreading from it.
"Bang!"
Not long after the previous noise had subsided, a lower muffled explosion sounded from within the tree trunk.
"Ka ..." The power that accompanied the second muffled sound was instantly transferred deep into the tree trunk. A moment later, it suddenly exploded from within. The trunk of a large tree, after being ravaged by this hidden power, became unsteady, seemingly about to fall.
"What ... What a powerful hidden power."
Witnessing the destructive power that seemed to be multiplying, Xiao Yan became completely dumbfounded. Although this hidden strength consumed a third of his Dou Qi, its effects were clearly much greater than the Dou Qi consumed.
"A ‘Octane Blast’ with hidden strength is really worthy to be described as a counterpoint to the Di Tier technique." Xiao Yan sighed in surprise as he slowly pulled his fist.
"Not bad, it could unleash a hidden power on your first try. However, it was clearly not smooth and it took too long for the hidden power to explode. During this time, if your opponent has sharp senses, he will be able to eliminate this hidden power before it explodes. " Yao Lao sings praise before speaking in a manner that indicates that there is a slight imperfection.
"Ha ha, it's okay. This is the first time. As long as I have more practice, I am sure I will be able to control the time when the hidden forces explode. " Xiao Yan quickly dealt a few quick blows. His success with the hidden strength today had increased Xiao Yan's combat ability significantly; at the same time, it gave Xiao Yan confidence and excitement.
Nodding his head, Yao Lao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although ‘Flame Mantra’ does have a strange ability to evolve, the initial level of this Qi Method is too low. The Dou Qi within your body can only provide enough support for you to use hidden strength multiple times. If you are going to fight with others in the future, you will have to kill in one strike. ‘This Octan’ explosion is meant to be a Dou Technique that kills quickly like lightning. "
"Ah." Xiao Yan nodded seriously. He clearly understood his weakness, which had low stamina or Dou Qi. If he was unable to defeat his opponent before his Dou Qi ran out, the one who would lose was him.
"It seems that I need to think of a way to speed up your Dou Qi training. Once we enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I will guide you to look for some rare medicinal herbs needed for the refining of medicine. Right now, you need medical help in addition to relying on your talents. " Yao Lao said deeply.
Xiao Yan smiled. He suddenly raised his brows and said, "That Yanran Sect might as well use this training method."
"Ha, then why? In all of the Jia Ma Empire, Gu He's alchemy skills were considered the best. But in my eyes, he is nothing. Competing with me in alchemy skills? In this entire Dou Qi continent, you can't even find five that can! " Yao Lao said softly; that bland voice hid arrogance and contempt.
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, feeling a little curious about Yao Lao's background.
"Oh right. Bring this thing. From now on, you are not allowed to put it down, even when you sleep. "
Yao Lao was silent for a moment before a huge black object suddenly shot out from the old ring and fell violently onto the ground, sweeping away the pile of dust.
"Uh ..." Xiao Yan stared blankly at the pitch-black item that was as tall as him. A cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he gulped his saliva and said, "This ...what is this for?"
"It's made of black meteoric metal and seems to be the only one in the entire continent. Not only was it extremely difficult to destroy, but it was also extremely heavy. Most importantly, this had the strange effect of suppressing one's Dou Qi. If you can get used to being under its oppression, the moment you unleash it in the upcoming battle, your strength after releasing it will shock everyone. " Yao Lao said with a smile as he gave a late explanation.
"And the Di Tier Dou Technique that I will teach you in the future is related to this."
